I Want Your Sex Review: Where Has the Horniness Gone?
Gregg Araki is asking pertinent questions about why Gen Z doesn't want to talk about (or have) sex. But does his latest film give us any answers?
How The Invite Serves One of the Year’s Best Surprises
Olivia Wilde talks about creating the world of The Invite and bringing the hit comedy to life through collaboration.
The Invite Review: Take a Walk on the Wilde Side
Olivia Wilde's The Invite delivers a ferociously funny, artfully messy, and authentic study of hormone-fuelled humour with one of the year's best ensembles.
Changing Reels Episode 66 – Booksmart
Film critic, Dr. Hillary Butler, joins Courtney for Booksmart!
Richard Jewell Review
Paul Walter Hauser is great as the titular Richard Jewell, but how does Clint Eastwood's film do in telling his story?
Booksmart Review
To describe Booksmart as a "female Superbad" would be to diminish it as a simple gender flip. It's much more than that – and the fact that the film is so f*cking funny is just the cherry on top.
Female Filmmakers Dominate SXSW with 60 Percent of Competition Films, Awards Recognition

SXSW 2019: Booksmart Review
Director Olivia Wilde's Booksmart is an endearing teen break-up and coming-of-age film rolled into one.
The Lazarus Effect Review
The Lazarus Effect begins with promise, but about halfway through succumbs to hackneyed PG horror film cliché.
Her Review
Her is nothing short of astonishing: a brainy science fiction yarn set in a not too distant future that also functions as an off kilter, but never ironic, creepy, or off putting modern romance. It’s a reflection of narcissism, consumerism, and most importantly alienation in our modern digital world. It's also the best movie of the year.
Rush Review
While occasionally overblown in terms of the melodrama being employed and a tad overlong, Ron Howard’s Rush is a strong sports drama with a pair of exceptional leading performances.
Drinking Buddies Review
Although perhaps a little bit more commercially minded than his cheaply produced, almost verite, largely improvised mumblecore dramas, Joe Swanberg’s Drinking Buddies takes the same unforced and loose approach as the writer/director/editor/actor’s other creative endeavours and crafts a gentle, sweetly realized look at love and friendship.
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone Review
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is a thoroughly average Hollywood comedy. There are funny moments throughout and it’s a big glossy production that hits all the expected notes before fading to black at this the right time, but it also meets those expectations to the point of reaching wild heights of predictable dullness.
